Description
Summary:Aim: This study was conducted in a descriptive and relationship-seeking style to determine the relationship between the leadership of nurse management and the organizational commitment of staff nurses. Method: Data were collected after contacting the participants via e-mail between April 2019 and August 2019. The population of the study was 2619 nurses, the sample size calculation was 325, but considering that there may be erroneous and missing data, the study was completed with 405 nurses. Data were collected online using the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire MLQ 5X Short Scale and the Organizational Commitment Scale. Results: As a result of the research; it was determined that the emotional and normative commitment of the nurses was at a medium level but the continued commitment was low. Transformational leadership and individual support positively affect organizational commitment. As a result of the regression analysis conducted to determine the effect of leadership on organizational commitment, it was determined that transformational leadership positively affected organizational commitment and that some of the change in organizational commitment was due to transformational leadership and individual support. It was determined that the leadership style of the manager nurses affected the commitment of the nurses to the hospital by 15%. Conclusion: According to study the results, the leadership behaviour score of the manager nurses was found to be above the middle. Transformational leadership behaviour was found to be higher than transactional leadership. Nurses' emotional and normative commitment was found to be moderate, but continued commitment was low.
